Outlines the discovery of a new fluorine iron arsenide based class of high temperature superconductors.

Thanks, nice article

Theses are exciting times for SC. So much going on.

Paul Dietz left some good points.

What needs to be done is take a honking big array of superconductors, with attributes like geometry, critical temperature, critical field, and characteristics of a whole bunch of other sorts. take that data and try and find patterns, come up with at least 5 different schemes that relate the different properties and then try coming up with new data points using these schemes, they should then be testable by trying to synthesize a new superconductor, if it fits the scheme in all the measured ways, keep making until you have something higher than room temp, if not, try again until you find a pattern that works.

problems with method: pattern is likely to be poly-dimensional in nature, dependant on bonding nature, element electronegativity, geometry and a slew of other properties.

Considering that the phonon theory of super-conduction doesn't seem to fit, ya you can say there's allot more to it.
